The word “father” can mean different things to different people, love, absence, pain, or all of the above. That’s why Dunsin Oyekan’s new worship song, "BABA" feels so powerful. The word “Baba” means “Father” in Yoruba, and this song reminds us that God isn’t distant or harsh—He’s a loving, perfect Father who wants a close relationship with us.
A lot of people carry wounds from their earthly fathers—broken promises, emotional distance, or feeling unseen. These experiences can shape how we see God. Baba speaks directly to that pain. It encourages us to let go of fear and stop expecting God to let us down, because He never will. The song is full of truth from the Bible, reminding us that God is constant and good (James 1:17), and He adopts us into His family with love that never runs out (Romans 8:15).
Baba is about who God is—a Father who gives us identity, purpose, and unconditional love. The song helps break the idea that God is like the flawed people we’ve known. Instead, it shows us His perfection: no mistakes, no mood swings, no disappointments.
Baba also carries a powerful message of hope for families and generations. It pushes back against cycles of pain and fear, and replaces them with a sense of belonging. Lines like “You’re a faithful Father; we’re Your children” remind us who we really are. The beat feels like the steady pulse of a relationship made whole again.
For anyone carrying the weight of a broken relationship with their father, Baba brings comfort and healing. For those feeling spiritually lost or alone, it’s an invitation to come home. Dunsin Oyekan has given us more than just music—he’s given us a reminder that calling God “Father” means stepping into a love that restores, empowers, and changes everything.
